I find the deployment of people with chronic health conditions as a gimmick to win a badly constructed arguments very distasteful.

people with disabilities that impact blanket policies when children get faced with ignorant teachers or administrators are not a gimmick. they're people whose existence highlights that you're just being reactive instead of actually wanting to solve underlying issues of western schooling.

As an accommodation, it would be plausible to lock down a phone to do whatever the minimum required is for this and nothing else. No social apps, no telephony, no camera. Networking disabled or severely restricted.

pointless, ludicrous, silly, puritanical. you're worried about the very possibility of a type 1 diabetic with a fancy insulin pump sneaking tiktoks in algebra that they need a dedicated piece of specially locked down technology for it.
